*facepalm* I can't believe I didn't think of that. I think in 2/4 tries, I built up Stonehedge and the Pyramids, but felt it left my early military way behind, inviting Shaka in. I'll try it with all three. No, I ragequit each of them before saving, hehe. I'll keep it in mind for the future...

Hey all. Named the thread after joe6778's thread (close enough, right?) because I know exactly how he feels. The thing is, I'm in a similar position, but I can't even get consistent wins at warlord. :cry::cry::cry: And I've been playing this game and reading these forums (on and off) since...

Hello my friend. A while back I recall reading a game thread where the player ventured through a world that the rest of the regulars built for him in world builder, and would change up on him every so often. There were guidelines to protect the player, but it was still tough. I don't remember if...

Say I have a weak, warlike ally on Friendly terms. I give him as much as I can as far as techs and gift resources because I want him to declare on my enemies, while I keep building. But because I culture-swiped so many cities from him, he can't really produce much. If I gift him military units...

Bears repeating. Don't worry, I suck too. Pretty much all general advice is 90% speculation. So context specific. My advice is to do more tag-teaming with your friends, so you can see exactly what works in the (MP) game and what doesn't. Also, I would imagine choosing different...

Wow, that's freaky. That's exactly the story with my roommate. He doesn't play much any more, but I believe all his games were Bismarck Blitzkriegs on Warlord and Noble. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm chronicling a game now with screeners, incremental saved games, and a bit of running...

Sury was the only of those that I read, and I've read about 5-6. MY alltime fave was the first Charlemagne, actually, because it reminded me of games where I was epic-ly backstabbed. A close second would be the Darius game, where Justinian declared war on him, and then gave him the votes for an...

I just have to say that, in terms of time spent lurking, I am hardly a newb. I started here years ago. In terms of skill and understanding the game, I freely admit I'm a total noob. Regardless, these forums are without a shadow of a doubt the nicest and most intelligent forums I have ever seen...

Thanks all, I appreciate the attention. Jrrd Tzu, I believe Dave, and the creator of the "Attacko" guides are being partly satirical (and very tongue in cheek) in their suggestions. While I don't doubt that those techniques are somewhat effective, they are far from universal - sort of taking...

Hey all. I'm a pretty terrible player. Overall, my strategy for improving will eventually include posting up save files and screeners, to fully document my ineptitude in a particular context. But I haven't gotten around to working on that yet. I've just been trying to take some of the hints and...

You sir, are the awesomest awesome that ever awesomed. Actually, this whole community is supremely awesome. Anyway, thanks, and I'll be digging into all this content for weeks to come. :goodjob:

So I've read. I stopped doing that about 5 games ago, and I'm still getting destroyed in my mid game. Kinda surprised that wasn't where the problem was. Anyway, when I ahve time from screeners and save files, I'll open a thread for that. I am starting to think that the real problem is...

Hi all. I'm a pretty terrible Civ 4 player, and even though I feel like I understand everything in the civilopedia, and everything in that beginners guide pdf that is floating around, I'm still quite horrible. I'm reading things here, and preparing to post save game files, but before I get to...

Decent thread, methinks. And I'm prone to agree with much of what rlawhdgur has to say. But as far as the main reason Korea was added... I think this sums it up. Hooray Free Market. :) Between China and Japan, I feel Korea has been that nation that historically has been doing all it can...

Hey, I normally don't necro old threads, but seeing as how time is a major factor for me, I just wanted to know if there were any mods out there the community could recommend for me. I wanna play a mod with salt as a resource, that works with Warlords, and isn't as totally game changing as, say...
